What is the Importance of Sucrase-Isomaltase in Human Health?
Sucrase-isomaltase is crucial for proper nutrient absorption. Deficiencies or malfunctions in this enzyme can lead to conditions such as congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID), leading to malabsorption, gastrointestinal distress, and other health issues. Understanding the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme can aid in developing treatments for such conditions.
